I looked at Swift a bit recently, for no reason I can remember, and was quite pleasantly surprised. A decent type system, mostly-sane memory management and error handling, easy ways to call out to C - System will make that even better - seems to do OK on performance and library support. It doesn't seem like any kind of breakthrough, but nothing wrong with having another solid choice on the menu.
